Some stuff to do ...il be back asap

Thanks for all info m8ts..the Sandpaws can be located @ stormer and towerhobbies..maybe Amainhobbies to..

ive tested the car in the air only...all shrinktube will be redone Red will be black, all yellow straps will be black...maybe a test drive tomorow















--------------------

First test

This is the first throttle..@ small beach...to bad there is rain in the air...hopefully i can drive @ (what ya callit now again, where they store A lot of sand in diff sizes)..the truckl feels good, to bad,since the motor is mounted it twisttrottle if there is grip...i will test Pink spring on Left side rear..



Did some more testing...one thing, it MUST be stiffer in the rear, il shorten the rear and fronts...have to much Power-Tweak. BUT, damn it is fun...









2nd test

one hand filmed  but its real fun...to bad it was wet..

[Thomas P]

Mounted some internal springs Mdium, and what a difference..but i havnt tryed it yet, but the feeling is Waaay better., still stock setup in the front, hopfully i can test this tomorow...will soleder up some 6 cells Sub-c packs to..

[SlidSlide]

I had an internal spring setup on my edge. I had 30% droop (hard springs) and 70 sprung (soft springs).
The car was too hard to control so I took them off. Axial's stock chassis is different.
Internal soft spring setup might fit in your car. Worth trying..

[Thomas P]

The car felt real good with the internals and Orange springs...in rear...to bad it only last total 4 packs Monday and i will order the solid from rc4wd

[Thomas P]

A set of SLingshots will be ordered Monday morning + rims..and ultra grey inserts..nice to see how they will work

[Zarizi Tech]

I can say already that SlingShots wont work as Sand Paws or Panthers. The paddle on Slingshots is way too small.

[Thomas P]

Ahh, damn i was luck, i wont order them then. ANy other tip or so, i will get thoose for the axle "anti locker"

How about thoose ?

[niemma-2]

in my opinion the best ones is Sand paw, also it is most used.

[Hadesbear]

I think also Proline Sand Paws are the best tyres, but i want to try also panthers, so i can say tyres differences.
I have test my Naduadria modified class car those slingshots and its doesn't go well..

[Thomas P]

OK, sad for me, the plan was to test Prolines SandPaws vs Panther TIres today, but the tranny wouldnt held up for the powa..Il be gone for a week (work in another town) il be back Fri, hopfully it will be race rady that day..

[Thomas P]

Back from a weeks job...some post "Avi" was on the floor @ home...

New Edge cage,Anti lock and RC4wd tranny

[SlidSlide]

I'm sure you'll love it. The Edge is the best modified chassis I've seen. With correct setup and enough skilled driver it'll be ultimate.
And by saying "enough skilled" I dont mean a dude with 2 years background from foff, only 1 - 2 comps is enough!

[Zarizi Tech]

Where did you ordered those Panther tires?

[Thomas P]

www.amainhobbies.com 

[Thomas P]

After a har night, i was a little more "human" ,so i took my chance to get  my car done...






New tranny



EDGE Cage..

[Zarizi Tech]

Nice. I'm thinking to put the Edge back to my car as well now.

[Thomas P]

i must say the quality felt real GOOD on this cage...cant w8 to test it...

[SlidSlide]

Awesome looking foff car! Great job dude!

[Thomas P]

many thanks.. just doing what ya guys are doing  ..

i have some Lipo packs that il use on my Mini A-tech Leo, il use 900mah 7.4 in 2s2p so they do 1800mah... the values aint so good but they must work for shorter racing ?





 

[Thomas P]

Im thinking of resoleder my cables and move my ESC, BUT where is the best place to have it located? i mean in the cage it is guarded, but my 4000mah packs are big, or big, i have real long cables and they are wired thrue the car..

If im not wrong dont Zarizi Tech have it mounted in the back, or does more of you guys mount it in this way?.

ESC in the front long sleeved cables thru the cage to the back of the car, to the cells, or ESC in the rear..hmmm my servo cables wont take that lengthm have to make´m longer if so. Rear and have my cells in the back to?

Let me know, im buying some cables today hopfuly..
